Obama Crushes Pesky Fly On CNBC (VIDEO)

[RamboLiberal]

President Barack Obama had a lengthy interview on CNBC today to talk Wall Street, health care, and his proposed financial industry reforms. The President was interrupted, however, by a pesky fly.

During a break in the interview, the President made quick work of the pest. "That was pretty impressive wasn't it?" President Obama said. "I got the sucker."

Quick reflexes though I was hoping he snatched it out of the air.

[KingFlorez]

4. I thought this thread was going to be about him telling off some nasty reporter

Still a good video though, very funny. I'm sure the RNC is filing a press release now calling for insecticide charges.

5. Jeez, to think he used to be such a fly guy.

:shrug:

15. ROFL!!!

Perfect. Just Perfect.

[Clio the Leo]

24. No, that would be Carrie Ann....

... Inaba who went to school with Barack's sister.... and who was one of the Fly Girls on In Living Color.

Small world, eh?

[leftofcool]

6. I hear outrage in freeperville..."Obama hurts innocent insects"

[baldguy]

7. No - "He stinks so much he attracts flies."

[leftofcool]

8. Ah, yes, I should have thought of that one

[RamboLiberal]

10. So did Bush - remember that huge insect that buzzed around

Bush when he did that "took me a month to contemplate while I wasn't paying attention to Aug 6th PDB" speech he did from the pig farm on Bush policy on stem cell research pre 9-11?

[Jackeens]

11. Cheney?

[masuki bance]

9. Pretty impressive. nt

[jefferson_dem]

13. LOL. Freaking Jedi Master!

He may have lost the Jains' vote, with that kill, however.

[LiberalFighter]

14. I generally do catch and release.

It's just a matter of whether I release outside or permanently.

[JayMusgrove]

16. RWers will be all over this.... Obama the fly killer!

They really have nothing else to offer but criticism of Obama, so let's see this happen.

[HopeOverFear]

18. oh it will be MUCH nastier than that, trust me

I can almost write what it is they're going to say, but I won't. :(

[marshall]

19. Aw, I wanted him to do it with chopsticks

but impressive nevertheless.

What is that behind the president? In the candid side shot it looked like a pile of scrap lumber.

[PopSixSquish]

20. And Somewhere Pat Morita is Smiling

Daniel: Wouldn't a fly swatter be easier?
Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything.
Daniel: Ever catch one?
Miyagi: Not yet.

[Politicalboi]

21. If you listen real close

You can hear the fly saying "Help me". LOL!

[Clio the Leo]

23. The fly knew he was so screwed....

.... there was a giant Barack Obama hand coming his way. Hope he had a chance to make things right with the Lord. :)

[Clio the Leo]

22. I'd like to see Bill Maher try and do that....

..... but no, he'd flail around recklessly until he knocked himself out and the fly would collapse in a fit of laughter.

[FrenchieCat]

26. I'm sure Maher could do it with his tongue!

Or he would like to think so!

[Berry Cool]

25. That was one dumb insect.

Didn't he know, the White House is a "No-Fly Zone"?
